Scotch Eggs

* all-purpose flour for coating
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
* 1 egg, beaten
* salt & pepper
* 1-1/2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs

Instructions
Mix sausage with chives, salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions . On floured surface, flatten each piece into a 2-inch (or 4-inch) circle. Shell eggs and dust with flour. Put beaten egg into one dish and bread crumbs into another. Place egg on a circle of sausage and mould it around the egg, sealing seams well. Roll each in beaten egg first then breadcrumbs.
